Human decision making is often driven by greed. AI will allow us to generate essentially infinite customizable content, probably with the ability to imitate famous beloved authors. There’ll probably be softwares you can employ to generate your own stories, and make them infinitely customizable.
We’re at the very beginning and we already see Amazon swamped with AI generated content and art. I’m worried about the future of literature. I’m worried about the future of humanity.
I have no understanding of how people are so confident everything will be fine. Again, we’re profit driven. I don’t think publishers are going to stand for the moral ground.
It already feels like (with how rampant social media content is) nothing is special anymore.
Confidence in AI not ruining the book industry stems from the belief that technology can enhance rather than replace human creativity. Many see AI as a tool for streamlining processes, aiding in content discovery, and expanding distribution, ultimately coexisting with human-authored works rather than overshadowing them. Additionally, the enduring appeal of traditional books and the unique qualities of human storytelling contribute to the confidence in AI complementing, rather than threatening, the industry.
